There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. Holders, generally speaking, were not disposed to sell except at fully previous rates; but where sales were pressed is per quarter less money was accepted. The spring corn trade ruled firm, at full currencies. Flour moved off slowly, at late rates. At Now York, the amount of business doing in produce for export is very moderate. The demand is chiefly con fined to red spring wheat of good and fine quality. On the continent, the corn trade is generally steady. The arrivals or home-grown produce up to our market last week were moderate for the time of year. The imports from abroad amounted to 27,340 quarters of wheat, 7,362 barley, 45,876 oats, 1,134 peas, 5,106 tares, 2,938 linseed, 1,900 oilseeds, 100 sacks, and 19,060 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market today the arrival of English wheat was small, both from Essex and Kent, but the quality of the prouce on the stands was good. Compared with Monday last there was much less activity in the trade, and the marke,, was entirely devoid of excitement, Factors however held both red and white samples at that day's ad vance in the quotations, but millers, generally speaking, were indisposed to operate except at Is per quarter more money. At the close of the market, the bulk of the supply had been disposed of at, in some instances, a decline of is per quarter, but chiefly at last Monday's currency. The market was moderately supplied with most descrip tions of foreign wheat. Red American and spring wheats moved off steadily at full prices; otherwise the trade was slow, nevertheless previous quotations were supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at full quotations. The flour trade was decidedly quieter than on Monday last. There was an increased supply of barrels on offer ; nevertheless, both English and foteign qualities fairly sup porteci previous rates. Beans, the supply of which was small, changed hands at fully late rates. Peas wore in short supply and steady request at full currencies. Oa the whole the malt trade was steady, and prices ruled firm.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day as to number, but its general quality was inte rior, sales consequently progressed slowly at about previous curt en3ies. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts was moderate, and there was a falling off in the con• ditiun of most breeds. The attendance of butchers was rather limited, and the beef trade was in a sluggish state at about last week's currency. The best Scots and crosses sold at from 4s 10el to 5s per Blbs. The supply ft ore Scot land was tolerably good, and in prime condition. From Ireland, however, the receipts were again limited. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgesbire we received 1,60 J Scots, crosses, and shorthorns ; from Lincoln• shire, 500 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, chiefly Heretordshire, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 328 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. We were fairly supplied with sheep. All breeds changed hands slowly, and in some instances prices gave way 2d per albs. The best Downs, however, produced 6s 2d per 81bs. The supply of lambs was tolerably good, and the lamb trade was inactive at late rates—viz., from 6s 8d to 6s 8d per Blbs. Calves NN ere in fair overage supply and moderate request on former terms. The demand for pigs was in a sluggish state at last week's quotations. Per Blbs. to sink the offal. a. d. s. d.

The accounts at hand from the Plantations this morn ing are not to say favourable, but the latest advices from the continent and America report favourably respecting the appearance of the plant. The supply both of English and foreign hops on sale is very moderate, nevertheless, the trade is dull, and the quotations have a downward tendency. Last week's import was 477 bales from New York. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Fair supplies of new potatoes are on sale at these markets. and the demand for them rules steady, at from 53. to Bs. per cwt. Very little foreign produce, however, is on offer, the import, last week, having amounted to only 1559 baskets from Dunkirk-979 Rotterdam-106 Boulogne— , l6 Jersey —and 20 barrels trom Oporto. For old produce, the trade is dull. The best samples command 50s to 555; but in ferior produce is selling at 20s to 40s per ton. SEEDS. The demand for seeds has been very moderate, but no change of importance has taken place in the quotations. The inquiry for linseed was very dull, and the value of East India ruled the turn in favour of buyers. Rapeseed commanded a steady sale at last Monday's prices.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). IN RE LENSBURG.-JUDGMENT. This bankrupt was described of Drury Lane, &o, cornice pole manufacturer, and applied a short erne since to pass his examination, but the accounts were very unsatisfactory, and Mr J. Hart, of the firm of Hart Brothers and Hayles, had been a ppointed to examine and report thereon, His Honour now said that the bankrupt admitted that the accounts were inaccurate and erroneous, and his excuse was that he placed his confidence in a man of the name of Smith who had betrayed his absconded- Smith was a man of a great many aliases—Ball, Rye, and Chappm. r. appeared to him (his Hon ,ur) that the bankrupt had not sufficiently excused himself, for he appeared to be a shrewd and intelligent man, and not exercised sufficient caution f n trusting Smith, who had been convicted of embezzlement and suffered twelvemonths' imprisonment, and bankrupt employed him without a character. His Honour hold alai the default was from the bankrupt's own culpable negligence in employing Smith without a character, and refused to pass the examination, which was adjourned sine die, but with protecsion to give the bankrupt an opportunity of ap pealing if so advised. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH STREET. A " GENTLEMAN" SENT TO HARD LABOUR FOR DIS GRACEFUL CONDUCT IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.—Mr Frederick Roundel, gentleman, of the Warwick Arms Hotel, Prince's• square, Bayswater, was charged before Mr Tyr whitt with exposing an obscene book containing indecent representations to the view of the complainant, Emily Louisa Maine, a nursemaid, fourteen years of age, while in Kensington Gardens. Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. Emily Louisa Main said she was a nursemaid at Bays water, and on Saturday evening, while in Kensington gardens with another nursemaid, each of them having children with them, the prisoner came and sat on the seat hey were sitting on, and showed them a book with pictures. He then shut up the book, and asked her to meet him at half.past 9 the same night, and go with him to a house, where ho would give her half-a• crown. As she was going away the park keeper spoke to her, and asked her what the prisoner had been showing her, and she told him. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the girl said she had often seen the prisoner about before, but he had never spoken to her till then. _ _ _ John Burton, park constable, said that in consequence of nuumereus complaints of the prisoner, he kept his eye on him, and on Saturday evening he saw him sitting on toe same seat as the two girls were, and saw him with a book showing them. He spoke to the girls, and in consequence of what they said took the prisoner into custody, end found the book upon him. Mr Lewis having addressed the magistrate on the pri soner's behalf, Mr Tyrwhitt said the case nas clearly proved against the prisoner, and his conduct was first that of corrupting girls. and then making wretched women of them. It was through such persons as the prisoner that respectable females were prevented from taking fresh air in the parks. He should commit the prisoner for three months with hard labour. A second charge was then preferred against the prisoner by a young girl named Agnes Burns, in service at High street, Notting-hill, and the case being clearly proved against the prisoner, Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was the duty of a magistrate, when these cases were proved, to inflict the full punishment, and he should, therefore, commit the pri soner for a second term of throe months, with hard labour. THAMES. A GENERAL IRISH Row.—Pntrick Swaney, an Irish labourer, and Julia Stafford, an English woman, wife of an engineer, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting and wounding William Butler, a police constable, No. SO K. The constable's arm was in a sling. He was wounded on the head, hie shoulder was injured and his hand smashed. There was a general Irish row in Cotton-street, Poplar, on Saturday night. Butler was dispersing the riotous, and a volley of stones were thrown at him and another constable. The prisoner Sweeney was instigating his country people to smash the police, and it was believed that he threw some of the stones. He had a severe black eye and bruised face, which he declared was inflicted by Butler. The woman Stafford, who was said to be worse than the Irish, and to have joined in all the rows that have occurred in Poplar past, threw a large tin can at Butler w the shoulder. She then retreated in o h No. so 6 some 8t l on Cotton -street, and hurled a brick at him. It 41" h s i t c r ho u u forckseh struck him him m on the head, and ho said, if it had not been tor the leather of his hat, he should have been killed. S weene y called Margaret Driscoll in his defence, and she ,wore that Butler hit the prisoner on the head with his staff, and said the Irish should not get the better of him In answer to Mr. Partridge, the witness said she would not swear stones vrele not thrown by her countrymen.

Prose cutor wes senseless for a time,' and had to be at once re moved to a surgeon's. Prisoner ran off, but was stopped by a young man and given into custody. Prosecutor handed in a medical certificate, which set forth that his eye was most fearfully cut, and the bone of his nose broken. Mr Mansfield said he did not know what injuries the pro secutor had received, but he trusted that he would go on well under the surgical treatment. Unfortunately in such oases as these erysii,elas might set in. The prisoner must be remanded fur a week.

Upon reaching the hospital, which the royal party did about 20 minutes after 1 o'clock, they were received by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and the Hon. Artillery Company, who acted as a guard of Honour. [We shall continue the report in our late edition.] Royal Botanic Society of London, There was a magnificent exhibition at the society's gar dens, in the Regent's-park, on Saturday. The fruits, especially the grapes, pines, and peaches, might, from their size and richness, have been ga , hered in a garden that had been presided over by Pomona herself. There was one pine amongst those exhibited that weighed over ten pounds, and there were three bunches of grapes more than ten p Junds each. These fruits did, indeed, look magnificent, but we must add that they were very tantalising also. The exotic orchids were very beautiful, and so were the gera niums. The ambition of the growers of geraniums appears now to be to exhibit the largest plant in the smallest pot. Among the company present were the Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Bishop of Oxford, Marquis of Bristol. Earl of Home, Earl of St. German's and Countess of St. Ger man's, Lord Chesham, Lord Yarborough, Lord A. Hervey, Lady Mary Hervey, Lord Alfred Hervey, Lady Laura Palmer, Lrdy Elizabeth Waldegrave, Lady Duncombe, Lady Julia Powers, Lady Anson, Lady Laura Gratton, Lady Mary Stanley, Lady Cremorne, Lady Frances Rus sell, Lady Yarborough, Lady Proby, Lady Bannerman, Lady Isabella Blatchford, L Aly Fainter, Lady 11l‘Farlane, Baron Nathan De Rothschild, Sir Walter Stirling, Sir Philip Duncombe, Sir John Anson, Sir William Hooker, General Dixon, Colonel Hammer, Hon. Mrs. Calthorpe, Hon. Mr and Mrs Twistleton, Miss Burdett Coutta, Mrs Gladstone and family, and the Portuguese, Itussian, Danish, Spanish, and Austrian Ministers. The bands of the Ist Life Guards and of the Royal Horse Guards performed during the day a selection of overtures from the principal operas, marches, and dance music. Un Friday evening the inspee -or-general of volunteers, was entertained at a banquet at Edinburgh. In speaking c f the condition and prospects of the volunteers, the gallant Colonel bore high testim ,ny to their efficiency, and said he considered their present strength to be but the nucleus of what would be required in times of war. The number at present enrolled was 163,003, of whom about 130,000 or 140,000 were efficient. Judging by the number who had passed through drill, and -eared from the force, he calculated that in an emergency the volunteers would very rapidly increase to 200,000. Colonel M'Murdo made a passing allusion to another body of volunteers, the yeomanry, whom he said he should like to make more of soldiers than they now aro." FESTIVITIES AT COWES —Oa the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales the plot of land known as the Green, and which was then in the market for sale, was purchased by Mr G. R. Stephenson, C.E., for presental ion to the town as a place of recreation for the inhabitants. Some time has been occupied in building a new sea-wall, returning and draining the Green, and erect ing a very handsome drinking fountain and stand for the band. The whole expense of these improvements, amount ing to nearly £3,000, has been liberally defrayed by Mr. titephenson. On the occasion of the opening the townspeople made a general holiday—shops were shut up, and flags innu merable flying in every direction. The schools and various societies of the town formed in procession, and at 2 o'clock, headed by the bands, proceeded to the Green with their ban ners. A salute having been fired from the yacht Tyne was the signal for hoisting the royal standard, which soon floated trom the flagstaff in the middle of the Green—the bands then struck up the National Anthem, in which the people joined heartily, and the Green was formally declared of en by the town council. The poor of the town were provided by Mr Stephenson with a substantial dinner, and the school enildren, 1,400 in number, were regaled with tea, cake, &c. Then came the tradesmen's dinner, followed by an open air concert by 400 voices, setected from the different choirs in the island, Southampton, and Winchester. A handsome orchestra was erected, and the e ingers, having been provided with a cold collation under the marquee belonging to the Agricultural Society, took their places on the orchestra, and sang through a variety of national part songs, &c., to the manifest delight ot nearly 20,000 people. Special steamers and trains brought their thousands from Ports mouth, Southampton, Hyde. Newport, and other places.

In the Belgian Chamber of Deputies, two days back, before resuming the discussion on the Budget of Public Works, M. Orts, a member of the Left, brought forward a motion for adding to the number of deputies in the Chambers, The constitution fixes a representative for every forty thousand inhabitants, according to which calculation there is at present a deficiency of six de puties and three senators. The motion was accepted by all the Opposition members, and a considerable portion of the Ministerial supporters, and referred to a corn mittee. Should the proposition be definitively agreed to, es appears probable, Antwerp, Charleroy, Waremme, and Philippeville will each gain one deputy, and Brussels two. The Belgian Minister ot Foreign Affairs has re ceived from M. Max, Consul of Belgium at Athens, an account of the progress of the cultivation of cotton in Greece, from which it appears that this year's crop will amount to between 14 and 16 millions of kilogrammes. THE ROYAL WILTSHIRE LIFEBOAT. —A grand demonstration took place at Marlborough. a few days ago on the occasion of the namin g and presentation ot the "Royal Wiltshire" lifeboat, the coat of which had been collected in the county by Captain N. J. Reed, R.N., of Marlborough. Early in the morning the town mani fested great interest la the humane undertaking ; and when the lifeboat mounted on its transporting carriage, was drawn ' through the town by a team f fine horses, gaily decoraed, thousands of people followed the procession, which was headed by a band of music. Captain Reed, R.N., on behalf of the county of Wiltshire, presented the boat to the National Lifeboat Institution. He said it .was a proud day for him to assist irt' presenting the society with so splendid a lifeboat on behalf of t ,Lxe county of Wiltshire ; -it wished the life and he felt assured that every one prese. boat "God Speed." Richard Lewis, Secretary• of the National Li eboat Institution, then act , . e _,._,. _ e - I . : " dged brim --, assured the crew of the lifeboat at Dover would always 137 tinguieh themselves in the Royal Witshire when the lout of need came. (Hear, hear.) He referred to the remark able fact that last winter the neighbouring lifeboat at Rams. gate, in conjunction with a steamtug, had saved 120 per sons from two shipwrecks on the Goodwin Sands, during an awful midnight storm. The lifeboats of the institution rescue on an average between 400 and 500 persons every year; and altogeth .r, since the establishment of the society, nearly 14,000 shipwrecked sailors had been rescued through its instrumentality. (Cheers.) He requested them to imagine such an army proceeding through their principal street, and then to conceive the number of persons connected with these 14,000 men, and they would probably find that 40,000 persons had been saved from being widows and orphans. The Rev. T. W. Dowding then pronounced, in suitable and impressive terms, a benediction on the lifeboat. Mrs Kean, Capt, Reed's daughter, in the unavoidable absence of the Marchioness of Ailesbury, proceeded, amidst hearty acclamation of the people, to name the boat the Royal Wilt shire. The lifeboat was afterwards sent by rail to Dover. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD. — The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending the 2d of July was 3,923, of which 1,264 were new cases. The Hon. Edward Chandos Leigh is appointed Recorder of Stamford, in the room of Mr Flowers, appointed a mettopolitan police magistrate.—Observer. MR.

CLVENTRY PATIVORE, the popular poet of the domestic affections (yids " The Angel in the House") has recently become a convert to the Roman Catholic religion. During a violent storm a few days ego the lightning fell on the north-east side of the Puy-de. Dome, and earned considerable damage to that part of the moun tain. A largo mass of earth, roots, and turf was preci pitated cown the steep, so that for a length of about 50 yards, by a breadth of 15, the rock which forms the top of the Puy has been laid bare. The Emperor of Austria has just appointed M. Mendel Consul-General of Austria at Amsterdam. M. Mendel h a it ss, Count Walewski and the Countess Walevfolia hsrve ani?ed at the battle of Mont,Dore, Shelled ont at Charleston, On the 21st of August, at half-past lam., I was lying on my bed in the Charleston Hotel, unable to sleep from the excessive heat, and listening to the monotonous sound of cannonade kept up on the enemy's position from the batte ries on James Island. Restless and weary of the night, I had lighted a candle in defiance of mosquitos, and sought to pass away the time with a volume of "Les Miserables," It happened to be the one containing the account of the battle of Waterloo; and while deeply interested in the de• seription of the rushing squadrons of cuirassiers, I was startled by a noise that, from connection with my reading, resembled the whirr of a phantom brigade of cavalry gallop ing in mid-air. My first feeling was that of utter astonish ment; but a crash, succeeded by a deafening explosion in the very street in which my apartment was situate, brought me with a bound into the centre of the room. Looking from the window, I saw smoke and fire issuing from a house la which were stored the drugs of the medical purveyor. A watchman was running frantically down the street, and when he reached the corner just below me, commenced striking with his staff against the kerb ; a signal of alarm practised among the Charleston police. At first I thought a meteor had fallen ; but another awful rush and whirr right over the hotel, and another explosion beyond, settled any doubts I might have had—the city was shelled. People are not generally given to laugh ieg under such circumstances, but I will defy any one who witnessed what I witnessed on leaving my room, not to have given way to mirth in moderation. The hotel was crowded with speculators who had been attracted to the city by the sole of some blockade cargoes, and the corridors were filled with these terrified gentlemen rushing about in the scantiest of costumes and the wildest alarm. One perspiring individual of portly dimensions was trotting too and fr with one boot on and other in his hand, and this was need} all the dress he could boast ot. In his excitement and terror he had forgotten the number of his room, from which he had hastened at the first alarm, and his distress was ludi crous to behold. Another, in a sir - lei-state of nudity with a portion of his garments on his arm, barked the shins of every one in his way in his efforts to drag an enormoue trunk to the staircase. On reaching the hail I found a motley crowd, some of whom with the biggest words were cursing the Federal commanders. Whirr I came another shelf over the roof, and down on their faces went every man of them into tobacco-juice and cigar ends and clattering e r iitsnnn_ I need not say that this is a class of men from whom the Confederacy hopes .0,1,1. 61 ee, dee contrary, by their extortion, practised on a suffering people, they have made themselves execrated. If a shell could have fallen in their midst and exterminated the whole race et hucksters, it woud have been of great benefit to the South. The population was now aroused, the streets filled with women and children making their way to the upper part or the city, where they would find comparative safety. The volunteer fire brigade brought out their engines, and parties of the citizen reserves were organised rapidly and quietly, to be in readiness to give assistance where required. The first engine that reached the house struck by the first shell was one belonging to a negro company, and at it they went with a will, subduing the fire in a marvellously short time. At every successive whirr above them the niggers shouted quaint invectives against "cussed bobotitionists," scatter ing for shelter until the danger was past. Through the streets I went, and down to the Battery promenade, meet ing on my way sick and bed-ridden people carried from their homes on mattresses,and mothers with infants in their firms running they knew not whither. Reaching the promenade, I cast my eyes towards the Federal position, and presently beyond James Island, teems the marsh that separates it from Morris Island, came a flash, then a dull report, and, after an interval of some seconds, a frightful rushing sound above me told me the path the shell had taken ; its flight must have been five miles I—Cornhill Magazine. THE FEDERAL REPULSE AT PETERSBURG.—The New York Herald publishes a letter from its army correspondent describing the repulse of the Federals as fol lows :—" Gen, Pierce commanded the left of the front line of attack, and Major Hooper, of the 15th Massachusetts, the right. Their troops were formed in two heavy lines. The right of the line was formed under a crest, which protected it from the fire from the rebel breastworks they were going to assault, near the line of the City Point and Fredericks burg Railroad ; but the lest was exposed to a most murder ous fire the moment it was in sight. The line advanced, and the soldiers rushed over a fence along the road with which the breastwork was nearly parallel ; they rushed forward gallantly, but could not withstand the deadly fire of mus ketry, grape, and canister that was poured upon them from that stronghold of the enemy. On the right of the line our men reached to within about 75 yards of the earthworks, and on the left to within about 200. But the fatal fire was too much for even such gallant fellows, many of whom fell never to rio again. The lines were accordingly compelled to fall back a short distance to the point from which they advanced, leaving the dead and some of the wounded in the possession of the enemy. Another attack was ordered to take place at another point, for the purpose, if possible, of cutting through the rebel lines. This was a regular storm ing party, cumpoted of several brigades formed in columns of regiments. The troops moved forward in two columns, Col. Madell's brisade leading the advance of one column, and Col. Champlin's the other. Shortly after 4 p.m. these imposing columns were moved forward, and in a moment ' they were moving in splendid force towards a strong rebel ' line of breastworks strongly de:ended by infantry and artil lery. These immediately opened a terrific fire, and the heads of eolums were lost in clouds of smoke—lost in the very jaws of death. The battery was so close, the fire so strong as well as sudden, and the men fell eo fast, that those in front were soon cut down or scattered, and others, instinc tively seeking the shelter which some neighbouring build ings afforded, broke from the column, throwing them into considerable confusion. The troops were then wisely with drawn, as a further sacrifice of human life, under these oir • cumstances would be criminal." INNS OF COURT.—The Benchera of the Inas of Court in December, .1863, issued new regulations to students qualifying for the bar, and among others insti tuted exhibitions to be competed for by students who had attended the lectures and classes of the several readers. The Council of Legal Education, to whom is intrusted the duty of superintending the instruction of students for the bar, have directed that the examinations for exhibitions on the subject of the lectures delivered and classes held by the several readers shall be commenced this day, July 4, at Lincoln's-inn-hall. The exhibitions are of the value of 30 guineas each, to be held for a period of two years, to be granted to the most proficient student in Constitutional Law and Legal History, and to the most proficient student in Jurisprudence, Civil, and International Law, and also to the students of the advanced classes in Equity, on Real Property Law, and on the Common Law. Junior Exhibi tions, to continue for a like period of two years (but to merge on taking a superior exhibition), of the value of 20 guineas per annum, will be awarded to the most proficient students, duly qualified, who have entered for the elemen tary examinations on the subjects of Equity, Real Property, &c., and the Common Law. Mr Thomas Collett Sambas has been appointed examiner in Constitutional Law and Legal History, to be held this morning, the 4th of July, from 9.30 to 12.30, and he will also examine in the afternoon from 1.30 to 4.30 on Jurisprudence, Civil, and International Law. On Tuesday morning, July 5, Mr. J. R. Kenyon, Q.C., will examine in Equity from 9.30 to 12.30; and in the afternoon of that day, from 1.3 t to 4.30, Mr. James Charles Mathew will examine on the Common Law. On Wednesday morning, the 6th of July, Mr John Sharper, Q.C., will examine from 9.30 to 12.30 on the Law of Real Property, &c., and in the afternoon of that day—viz., from 1,30 to 4 30 a general paper of questions will be issued to the students embracing all the subjects on the foregoing "LW readers are at liberty to attend the several examinations, and all members of the Inns of Court who have obtained -ritten orders of admission from a bestehen or from oue readers, are also to be admitted to the oral examine d th.. bona.

Constantinople letters and journals to the 22d June have reached us. The principal intelligence is contained in tho subjoined extract from the Lerant Herald :—" Something like a formal settle ment of the Danubian dificulty has at length been effected. On Sunday (the 19th), the Marquis de Moustier, Baron Prokesch-Osten, Count Brassier de St. Simon, A bro Effendi, of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and M. Negri, Prince Couza's agent in Constantinople, met Sir H. Bulwer at the British Embassy to consider the details of the com promise which had been agreed to in principle between the Porte and the Hospodar; The latter has persistently striven during his visit to have his late measures not merely condoned but legalised, but neither tha Porte nor a majority of the foreign Ministers could extend their formal sanction to acts which violate a solemn convention. However, making a virtue of necessity they were willing—whilst protesting against the illegality of the prince's acts—to accept accomplished facts so far as that could be decently and wisely done. It was therefore agreed in substance on Sunday, that the constitution imposed by the Paris Conference of 1858 shall be replaced by a new one more directly recognising the autonomic rights of the Princi4 palities, but at the same time modifying the Hos podalr's late electoral law, and superadding the check of a Senate, the majority of whose members shall be elected by the people. A short protecol of this understanding was drawn up, and will be submitted to the Porte and the foreign representa tives this week far their formal sanction. In the meantime, the Commission appointed by the Con. ference to deal practically with the monastic pro perties is nearly completed. Mr. Dalyell, H.M. Consul at Jassy, has been named the British member; Tissot, French Consul at Jassy, will represent M. de Moustier; and Count Beccio di Bayo, recently Italian Consul at Rome, will be the Italian nominee. The Austrian and Russian members have also been appointed, but as yet we are unaware of their names." The following are a few items of general news —" the Turkish Government is paying special attention of late to the remount of the cavalry artillery. Numbers of horses have already arrived from different quarters, where they have been care, fully selected; and 8,000 Russian horses are ex pected in the course of a few days from Odessa to complete the equipment of these two important branches of the service.—On the 17th a fire broke out in the quarter of Egri-Capou at Stam boul, and fifty houses were burned to the ground.—At a recent meeting of the lonians re• siding in Constantinople an address was drawn up, which was presented yesterday to Sir Henry Bulwer at the English Embassy by a deputation from that community. The persons selected, MM. Vagliano, Inglessi, Antiopa, and Valso machi, were naturally well received by the Am. bassador. The address, after an allusion to re cent changes, expressed the gratitude which the lonian body feel towards the Ambassador and the Consular authorities for the care with which the personal and commercial interests of the lonians had always been vigilantly guarded. His Excellency, in reply, expressed his gratification at receiving the address.—The Messageries Lupe riales, Austrian Lloyds, and Russian Steam Com. panies having refused to charter any of their ships for the transport of the Circassians, the Porte is seeking vessels for this purpose in Eng• land, and has already engoged the Plata, a large and very roomy steamer, which is expeoted during the coming week, with the biscuits sent from Malta by her Majesty's Govern ment. In the meantime the exodus continues.— On the 18th Rza Effendi, the Imperial commis sioner at Samsoun, left that place for Trebizond to superintend the immigration going on from that port. At the date of the last advices, there were still nearly 60,000 destitute Circassians at Samsoun, and numbers continued to arrive,—We are glad io find that news which comes from Varna and Silistria promises well for the grain harvest in those districts.—A correspondent writes from Mostar on the 10th that Djevdet Effendi, the Imperial Commissioner, has distributed in several districts of Herzegovina 500 ekes of cotton seed. The distribution of seed last year in this province was on a very small scale, but trifling as it was, the result was promising, and there is every reason to believe, with proper encouragement, the cultivation uucton would prove a great element of prosperity in this poor section of the empire.—We *egret to learn by a communication from Eskizara, Bulgaria, that the ripening harvest in that district has been damaged by storms of hail and rain, and consequent inundations. The hailstorms did great m i s chief, many of the stones, we are assured, b ei n g as large as eggs. Eski-zara is one of the prin ci p l e centres of trade in otto of roses, and the rosaries have sus. tained considerable injury." " We have reason to know , " says the Nation, "that the commission on th e eiMr of the Isthmus of Suez has terminated its labours, and th a t M. Thouvenel recently bcd an interview with the Emperor on the subject. We un d ere t e :d that his AlpiestY has signed the decision come to by the Commission, and according to which the Viceroy of Egypt will have to pay over to the company, by Ns - ay of indemnity tu r t h e lands given up and for the fresh-water canal, a surn o.f .

Several boy? from the French Menageries lmperiales ship were bathing, when a shark was observed making for them. They heard the cries of their shipmates, and attempted to regain their vesesel, distant half a mile. They would have been too late but for an officer belonging to the celebrated Liverp , of clipper Back Seneca, Mr. Lamb, who, arming himself with a sheath knife, sprang from the rail, and attacked the monster in his own element. The shark inanediatdy turned upon his antagonist, when occurred a eeene more easily imagined than described. Mr. Lamb dived again and again, each time, coming up beneath the monster, end succeeded in inflicting several wounds. The sea was lite rally dyed with the blood of the shark. Several boats having been put off, he was finally despatched with a hat s peon, and hauled ashore oa the beach. He proved to be a blue shark fully 15 feet long."
